Tony Serra Ford
Ford Ranger for Sale in Sylacauga, AL
A mid-size truck with a full-size truck’s frame under it. The Ranger sits between the Maverick and the F-150, and for a lot of buyers that is exactly the right place to be.
Where it sits between the Maverick and the F-150
The Maverick is a unibody truck for hauling; the F-150 is a full-size truck for everything. The Ranger is body-on-frame like the F-150, so it tows and works like a proper truck, in a body that fits places a full-size crew cab does not. What you give up against the F-150 is bed volume, cab space and engine choice. What you gain is a truck you can park.
Off-road packages are worth understanding before you pay for one
The Ranger is offered with genuine off-road hardware — locking differentials, tuned suspension, skid plates — and also with appearance packages that look similar and are not. If trails are the reason you want the truck, read the equipment list on the specific vehicle rather than the trim name, and ask which of it is mechanical.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Ranger big enough to tow?
- For a boat, a small camper or a utility trailer, comfortably. For a large travel trailer, no — that is F-150 or Super Duty territory. Towing capacity varies by configuration, so check the rating on the specific truck.
- Ranger or Maverick?
- The Maverick is cheaper to buy and run and rides like a car; the hybrid version especially. The Ranger is a body-on-frame truck that tows more and handles rough ground better. If the bed is for yard work, take the Maverick; if it is for towing and job sites, take the Ranger.
